CBS Cut Troubling Trump Rants From 60 Minutes Interview
CBS removed large portions of President Trump's 60 Minutes interview that aired after the White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting, New Republic reported. The network omitted segments in which Trump rambled about his ballroom, commented on how attractive his Secret Service agents are, and likened No Kings protests to the Ku Klux Klan. Those edits change the public record of what the president said and raise transparency questions about how networks present presidential interviews.
Let me get this straight: Bari Weiss has radically edited the new Trump interview on 60 Minutes? Let's not forget that Weiss lost her mind over standard editing of a Kamala Harris interview in 2024. But as Juliet shows, this Trump editing goes way beyond standard broadcast practices. Good grief.
well we’ve recently established this is a tort, so time for the dems to sue
If CBS can chop up an interview and air sentences out of order to make a favored interviewee seem more coherent ... can they do the same to make a dis-favored interviewee seem less coherent? It's going awfully far down the road to pure propaganda here.
Also, they violated their own settlement deal with Donald. Fuck them forever.
According to Trump and Bari, isn't this grounds for a massive lawsuit against CBS?
Bari edited interview & *didn‘t* take out “I’m not a rapist, I’m not a pedophile” & “You think he was referring to you?” Those are the headlines of that interview. They are Trump’s “I’m not a crook” moment but worse. That‘s what will be remembered. She is really bad at sycophanting.
I’m beginning to think she isn’t operating in good faith
Trump is currently suing the BBC for editing him!
Can we sue them for editing him? Some kind of class action suit?
The media in general have been providing a free editing services for Trump in video and print since his political career began. They clean it up for him because they think this is their job. He should have been quoted, in full and verbatim, from the beginning. Weiss is just more egregious not new.
The BBC would like a word too.
That does it! I am suing Bari Weiss and CBS for 10 Kajillion billion dollars for this slanted editing done to make tRump look good! Hey MAGAts, am I doing this correctly?
Nothing is ever on the level with the right. Nothing. Why do liberals keep being shocked by their contradictions and hypocrisy?
I recall lawsuits were filed and media capitulations about editing. Perhaps it was all a dream. That's me in the corner, losing my mind.
So, they unweaved the weave?
Sept 2023 Meet the Press Welker was Trump's first major interview after the Carroll rape case judgement May 2023. Welker did not ask the first POTUS in history found to committed RAPE any questions on it. Epstein Class Media Corruption! If Biden raped questions? www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-pre...
He’s a thin skinned rapey pedophile soulless Nazi ghoul Fuck him! And fuck CBS!🤬
Really is all bullshite, anyway. So why edit it ?
This was the standard procedure on the Apprentice reality show, per a long ago New Yorker article that questioned why the producers did not disclose this when they foisted this "dangerous violent madman who should be confined away from weapons and power" on us as presidential material in 2016.
TO BE FAIR-that idiot rambles incessantly and the incoherence would have been like watching one of his rally speeches. Not to mention they'd have to cut everything else to make room for his 40mins of crazy.
Swiss cheese for a brain. What is left that is "coherent" is the hate he has for everyone but mostly women.
Thanks for posting the unedited interview and thanks to those who have read it. I just can’t. Gaslighting bullshit.
This is what Team Trump does -throw out accusations -when the left dismantles or explains legality/obsurity based in fact - THEY then use that "liberals dismissed it" as a passive permissive avenue for what Trump does. I would guess, every accusion is a confession has THIS tactic hidden in it.
@decodingfoxnews.bsky.social has had to branch out to "decode" a one-time premiere trustworthy news broadcasting network.
Isn't this what he sued for when thru edited Kamala's interview? Who's going to sue now for this Frankenstein edit job??
Huh, she didn’t bring up the fact that he actually wanted there to be no metal detectors on Jan 6, when he was organizing an armed mob to overthrow a democratic election. Seems at least a little apropos?
I saw a MTV/VH1 Doc in 2006 (Daughters of Rockers) Ted Nugent's two daughters said he often had drug, alcohol, sex parties with very young girls (they looked meaning 12-14 year olds.) I would love to see the full recordings, what was cut out!
OMG It was even worse than it looked?
Trump's nuts, he talks, I turn it off. No need to hear his cowardly sniveling voice. 😡
Rules only apply to those this arrogant ignorant sick regime dismisses.
I was told that editing less than this was treason and worth a $1B+ lawsuit.
why wasn't Trump asked why he fired ALL members of the National Science Board the same day?
Wait - you're telling me what we saw was the edited version?
There’s a lot of blame to go around for the media cleaning up after him.
I'm so damn sick of the blatant, unrelenting hypocrisy!
And what aired was damn embarrassing for him. I can’t imagine the rest!
They edited a whole lot of crazy out of the interview. Trump reminds me of Capt. Queeg in The Caine Mutiny.
THR: “It seems Trump is OK with his 60 Minutes interview getting edited, just not anyone else’s.” www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/d...
Can I sue for emotional distress?
On brand. Rules for thee, but not for me is his motto
Biden and Harris should both drop a 10 billion dollar lawsuit on CBS
Sounds like someone needs to sue CBS, and very first citation is Trump v. CBS Broadcasting Inc
Trump obviously wanted to leave in the part where he’s nasty to Norah. That’s what he’s good at…being a rude and disrespectful man.
Just like they're ok with breaking the law and violating the constitution long as it's Republicans doing it 🤨
If they edited out all the parts where he was insulting, boorish, idiotic and lying . . . the show would be 60 Seconds.
Hypocrisy has a name: The GOP
I wonder why he doesn’t SUE 60 MINUTES and Nora O’Donnell??? Hmmm… The answer is DISCOVERY. He’s GUILTY OF BEING A RAPIST AND PEDOPHILE!
Edited and he still came across as an ass
Wow did CBS ever sanewash their Trump interview. Compare the full transcript (below) to what aired: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-white-house-correspondents-dinner-shooting-60-minutes-transcript/ See my timeline for more examples of what they edited out. (Can I sue?)
Fabulous! Juliet Jeske, aka @decodingfoxnews.bsky.social, shows you exactly what (extensive) (crazy) stuff they cut. decodingfoxnews.substack.com/p/trumps-cbs...
It’s why this right-wing takeover of the corporate media matters, and it’s why democrats will continually be at a disadvantage in the national discussion of our politics
As he talks about the insecurity of the hotel with rooms above, I can’t help but think of the documents that were left in the bathroom unsecured.
He's a walking talking quote machine for us to enjoy.
In an interview with CBS News’ ‘60 Minutes’, Trump said the “No Kings” protests were to blame for the latest assassination attempt against him. “The reason you have people like that is you have people doing No Kings,” Trump said. “I’m not a king… if I was a king I wouldn’t be dealing with you.”
But the truth is that the No Kings rallies have been some of the largest and most peaceful protests in history.
His White House literally posted a picture of him and Charles today calling them “two kings.” So no, that excuse doesn’t get to fly
What a little bitchmade wimp he is
Really??? Shitler says that the latest "assassination" attempt is all the No Kings protests' fault??? Where I'm from... we call this, motivation.
